After modeling 6 airplanes(and 1/4 too), I decided to do something different. So, naturally I chose this car. I set out researching and came up with a color scheme from the wonderful world of the internet. I went with this 2 color scheme with black and orange which I think will do nicely for this drag racer. Originally they have the car pictured yellow with optional stripes for the side. But I thought that was too boring and I wanted to make it complicated for some reason. Here is everything straight out of the box(sort of). As you can see, I got ahead of myself and painted already. More on that later. Most of these decals I plan on not using, as the red color is the wrong color and probably would not look very good with the orange top. Maybe I'll use the white or something. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. These are the parts I painted so far. I finished the engine bay, hood, radiator panel thing, back wall of the engine bay, and hood hinges. I started to paint the body but only got so far since my airbrush started to act weird. Guess I got to deep clean it again😖. Till next time!

Here's a project that stalled for a long time. In places it's been a pig of a kit, with parts that don't seem to want to fit together. On the other hand it's got lots of cool parts, there were enough engine bits to build a complete 426 Hemi (which is in a safe place somewhere and one day I'll find it) but I decided to go with a 440 6-barrel engine. Unfortunately the options didn't extend to the transmission, I'd rather have an automatic but the parts were only for a 4-speed. Anyway, despite my moans I'm please with how it turned out although it feels a bit strange not having anything left to do with it. Here it is. Under bonnet (hood) it's pretty much out of the box. Underside with a few added pipes and cables. Rear end got a licence plate. I'm not sure if I can recommend this kit but I think the end result was worth the occasional bouts of frustration. On completing this build I managed to find on eBay a Mongram kit of the related 1970 Plymouth Road Runner. I thought the Monogram might just be a reboxing but it appears to be totally different. Anyway, the price was right so I ordered it. It hasn't arrived yet, and I've no idea when it will get to the head of the build queue, but it seems I'm not quite done with American muscle cars.- 7 replies

Could do with a little tidying up and panel lines doing. I'm still pleased with the outcome though.
